Efficient Sharing of Artifacts Between Collaboration Applications

1. A computer-implemented method within a computer hardware system, comprising: evaluating each of a plurality of collaborative systems for suitability hosting an artifact according to at least one attribute of the artifact; selecting a first collaborative system from the plurality of collaborative systems according to the evaluation; storing the artifact in the first collaborative system; and automatically creating a link within a second collaborative system different from the first collaborative system pointing to the artifact in the first collaborative system.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the evaluation includes: identifying a computing resource needed to host the artifact; and comparing the computing resource needed to host the artifact with computing resources available in each of the plurality of collaborative systems, wherein the first collaborative system is selected according to availability of the computing resource needed to host the artifact.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of collaborative systems from which the first collaborative system is selected is limited to collaborative systems to which an owner of the artifact has write access.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein a user input selecting at least two of the collaborative systems to which the owner has write access is selected; and the plurality of collaborative systems to the at least two of the collaborative systems are further limited to the at least two of the collaborative systems selected by the user input.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: responsive to a change to the at least one attribute of the artifact: evaluating each of the plurality of collaborative systems for suitability hosting the artifact according to the change to the at least one attribute of the artifact; selecting the second collaboration system to host the artifact; removing the artifact from the first collaborative system; and uploading the artifact to the second collaborative system.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the automatically creating the link in the second collaborative system is based upon the first collaborative system being selected and the artifact being stored within the first collaborative system.
